The National Champions crowned were; Masters 40+; Leigh McKenzie, Open; Shaun Boucher. With Competition title going to Australian RJ Barbaro. R.J and Shaun were both successful in maintaining their titles from 2016. The weather made it impossible in the end to run the Women\u2019s and 16 &amp; Under divisions. The fast-developing talent in both divisions left everyone disappointed they did not get to see and support these amazing skaters. SBNZ will be integrating the 16 &amp; Under and Women\u2019s National Championship 2017 ranking into a future event this year.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_61677\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-61677\" style=\"width: 1008px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-61677 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/juicemagazine.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/1-WillyLara_FrontsideOllie_Bowlzilla2017_ConnorHill-0079.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1008\" height=\"672\" srcset=\"https:\/\/juicemagazine.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/1-WillyLara_FrontsideOllie_Bowlzilla2017_ConnorHill-0079.jpg 1008w, https:\/\/juicemagazine.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/1-WillyLara_FrontsideOllie_Bowlzilla2017_ConnorHill-0079-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/juicemagazine.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/1-WillyLara_FrontsideOllie_Bowlzilla2017_ConnorHill-0079-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/juicemagazine.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/1-WillyLara_FrontsideOllie_Bowlzilla2017_ConnorHill-0079-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/juicemagazine.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/1-WillyLara_FrontsideOllie_Bowlzilla2017_ConnorHill-0079-614x409.jpg 614w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1008px) 100vw, 1008px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-61677\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Willy Lara &#8211; Frontside Ollie &#8211; Bowlzilla 2017.

There was also $2,000 worth of prizes, donated by; Fusion Surf \/ Skate, Vans and Dickies, for the 16 &amp; Under and Women\u2019s divisions, which were equally distributed amongst all the competitors after the wash out.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\"><b>\u201c<\/b>Park \/ Bowl skating is clearly on the rise in New Zealand as was evidenced by the new talent entering our competitions over summer and the rise in skill level of the current skaters. The new series we established here at SBNZ is a real boost for the local scene and is bringing out more riders from near and far. We have interest from a lot of organizations to help us find ways of funding and supporting skateboarding now and well into the future. With our involvement in assisting communities develop and build better skateparks, working with promoters to establish competitions for local talent to develop and providing a community and voice for New Zealand skaters, the future is looking great. Having BOWLZILLA Wellington be the series final gives us a great chance to cap each year and we look forward to working with them for many years to come.\u201d Jesse Peters \u2013 Director, SBNZ.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Even with the challenging weather BOWLZILLA Wellington was a Capital success with the festival hosting; ARTZILLA \u2013 art show, which was produced by Manky Chops, Fusion Surf \/ Skate \u2013 welcome barbecue, the competition and wrapping it up with the Dive In &#8211; party at San Fran with the SUB:BASS crew raising the roof for the final celebration.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">&#8220;This year BOWLZILLA Wellington was a real game changer for us, we managed to triple the prize purse, saw an increase in international competitors, more friends and fans at the festival events, far more support from a wider group of sponsors and the growing talent of the skaters. It means we have a long future in Wellington. Being able to integrate this all in with SBNZ so we can crown the National Championships for New Zealand makes it that little bit extra special for us. Thank you one and all for everything you did to contribute to such an amazing but wet week.\u201d Chad Ford \u2013 Director, BOWLZILLA Wellington.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Without the very generous support of the sponsors none of BOWLZILLA Wellington would be possible, so a huge thank you goes to; Wellington City Council, Skateboarding New Zealand, International Skateboarder\u2019s Union, Coffee Supreme, Fusion Surf\/Skate, Manual Magazine, Manky Chops, Powerhaus European Vehicle Workshop, San Fran, The Cambridge Hotel, the generous prizes from Dickies and Vans and the organizational skills of Redhead or Dead Events and Miryoku Agency.
